Gates Corp. now offers a complete line of heavy-duty water pumps as well as a line of diesel emission fluid hose.
Designed to meet fleet standards, Gates heavy-duty water pumps are constructed with premium alloy materials, computer-tooled and fitted with a precisely balanced impeller to ensure OE fit and function, the company says. The expanded coverage includes 85 SKUs. These new pumps are manufactured to ISO/TS 16949 standards and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
In addition Gates brings an exclusive line of diesel emission fluid hose to the aftermarket. These hoses help limit the environmental impact of harmful emissions, according to the company. Since DEF freezes at +11°F, hose and couplings are electronically heated using Gates carbon fiber heating system. This patent pending technology is said to allow for more uniform fluid heating compared to heated-wire designs. Customizable hose lengths offer flexibility in design while thermoplastic over-molds are said to protect electrical connections against moisture and corrosion.
Gates also provides DEF tank transfer hose manufactured for the specific filling functions of DEF tanks.
Gates will showcase its expanded line of heavy-duty products in Booth #727 at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week, held Jan. 23-26, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nev., and in Booth #509 at the TMC Annual Conference & Transportation Technology Exhibition in Tampa, Fla. from Feb. 20-23, 2012.
